The place was very clean and nicely decorated, and the beds were very comfortable. The only glitch was trying to figure the elevator out. It was also bit of a problem for some of our group to not be able to take the elevator down from the second floor to the first without going through the garage.

The beach view was perfect. Had a little problem with hot tub heating, but after r hours we got it to start working. Of course it with out after hours and we couldnt get it started back. The dish washer smell like fish. But it probably came from the person using it before us. But overall it was great. Nice sleeping areas. Oh and we had a few of our guest get locked out. But good place to spend time.

Marlin Madness is a great house. Conveniently located in Banyan Beach off 11th st. Very roomy and well furnished. The kitchen is spacious and well appointed. Happy with the overall cleanliness. A very short walk over the dunes to the beach. The pool and porches are nice and well furnished.A couple of minor inconveniences during our stay are the only reason for 4 out of 5 stars but would definitely stay again.

The management was very accommodating for extra towels and hot tub temperature. Unfortunately, we did have some confusion with the parking passes and got a parking ticket for parking on the beach without the 12 permit that needed to be purchased at the store …our faults but I do wish that it was made clearer that the permits given with the house are not for the beach Great house highly recommend.

Great house! The open kitchen and dining area were perfect for gathering, and there was plenty of space for our large family to sleep comfortably. Having a pool was a huge bonus—we could enjoy the beach until the adults were ready for some shade, then let the little ones swim while we relaxed nearby. I do wish we had opted to heat the pool, since it got a little chilly later in the day when the sun wasn’t out. We were also glad we didn’t rent a golf cart—the walk to the beach was quick and easy, and the boardwalk took us through a beautiful sea of sunflowers. We had a wonderful time and would absolutely stay again. Thanks, Marlin Madness!

Location is great. Really enjoyed the pool. Close to the beach. Kitchen needed 9 x 13 dishes. Numerous paint chips throughout the house. Stains on dining room chairs. Metal bed frame taped. Washer dirty. Under kitchen sinks dirty. Tears on leather sofa and chairs. Lots of bird droppings near door entrance

What a lovely home for a large family!
We had a range of adults (mid 20s to mid 60s), a toddler, and a preteen and EVERYONE had a great time during our stay!We loved having easy access to the onsite private pool and hot tub. (note: we loved the feature of the door handle out to the pool being out of reach for little ones; it was probably 6 feet high). We opted out of heating the hot tub as it was an extra 100 tax/day fee, but it was not needed mid-July. Our 3-year-old actually liked it a lot because it was like her own private little pool. We also loved having the pool almost completely shaded by the floor above. This way, the kids still got to play in the water once we were all sunned out at the beach.It was a fun vibe with all the houses backing up to each other and most of them have pools with kids, too, so everyone was out back having a great time. This is a great space with plenty of sleeping arrangements for groups of friends or large families. We also didn't even feel the need to rent a golf cart. You'd only really benefit from one if you plan to go into town frequently, but if you just plan to stay at the house or go to the beach only - you're set!The only things that I would say were cons were:-For how many this house accommodates, we did not feel the amenities matched - the kitchen utensils and blankets were a bit sparse-The floors were so dirty our feet were black-They offer a few extra pillows, but no cases and the beds weren't very comfortableOverall, a great stay and would return!

The home is spectacular
I'm a vacation rental owner myself, and I was impressed with the home itself. There was some cleanliness issues with sand covering the floor so I had to request a broom to clean it, my 1 year old grandson ended up finding a used eye contact to, so that was pretty bad to see too.
